Had a C-64 growing up. Loved it.

Before that, had an Apple IIc and an Apple IIe. Before that, had a Heathkit.

It's funny to see the puzzled look on younger gen's faces when you try to explain what a bulletin board was, or using a phone modem.


Also loved my Intellivision (wish I still had it as it's now a collector's item). Had an Odyssey as well.

Some of my favorite games growing up were the all-text adventures like Zork. Infocom was the greatest.
Summit Extra Pale Ale....the best beer known to man.

Ah, memories of loading programs from a cassette deck. TRS-80s and a Timex Sinclair 1000. And the BASIC cartridge for the Atari 2600.

When our school got a VIC-20 in the Trash80 lab, it blew us all away with color and totally awesome graphics. It was wicked. And gnarly. Tubular, too.
